1971 VW TRANSPORTER BUS --H4 1.6 Liter 1584 CC 97 CID-- ALREADY LOOKS GREAT BUT WOULD LOOK AMAZING WITH EVEN MORE RESTORATION I purchased this classic in Seattle via private sale and it has lived in my WA garage since then. Previous to that it had 2 owners, both in Seattle and was always garaged. Because of this, there is minimal rust on the bus:) A local auto restorer told me it was the most rust free bus he'd seen in a long time! I purchased this in November and had hoped to keep it in my private collection for a long time, but my need for money for my new business has forced me to sell. It runs great and I am extremely sad to be selling! It passed the pre-buyers inspection I paid for wonderfully. I never buy a vehicle without one. It was recommended that I do a tune up which I just had done (6/25/14). It has been a reliable street and country-road vehicle for me in the last 8 months, a drove it on the freeway from Seattle home and it did great on the freeway as well. A previous owner had the bus professionally repainted, and it looks wonderful. There are a few areas of bondo on the side panels (please see photos) and your random nicks here and there but overall, it is a head turner wherever it goes! It has the original seats and all 9 original seat belts. One seatbelt needs to be bolted in still. The odometer reads 89,326 miles AS OF 6/23/2014. I am still driving this, so there may be more at time of pickup. Has collectors plates, so no tabs ever needed once transferred to new owners name! The interior has decent seats, there are tears in all three but still comfy with the exception of the front seat, which in my opinion would be great to replace. The heater works as far as I can tell, but don't get too excited, it does not heat you like a new car, lol. The passenger side mirror is missing and will need to be purchased. The right rear brake light is cracked, but still intact. It has 4 speeds and reverse, all working. A few easy to read bullet points- -Engine = H4 1.6 Liter 1584 CC 97 CID -Transmission = manual 4 speed -Purchased in WASHINGTON NOVEMBER 2013 --garaged ever since! -ONE OF THE MOST RUST FREE RIGS YOU WILL FIND!!!! -Odometer: Original MILES!!!! 89,326- SUPER LOW!!! -In good running condition at purchase; even better now after the tune up!! Truck is currently a reliable starter and runner. -Beautiful lines! -Recent new paint job with some blemishes (see pics). Mainly, the paint looks great, but there are a few areas where the paint could use some touch up (if you are picky). There are a few slight little dings here and there (nothing super noticeable), and a few areas where the paint has bubbled up a bit over the bondo areas. Overall, it looks great but it not perfect and should not be considered as such. -Passenger side (right) mirror is missing and needs to be replaced. -All doors lock! Key included. -All lights and windshield wipers all work. -Stereo is installed but not in working condition. -Interior light works. -Brakes are at 8mm and 6mm and in good working order. -Tires have good tread left.

TN politicians may push to end VW incentives if plant goes union
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Volkswagen's Chattanooga Assembly Plant is scheduled to vote on whether to unionize in the coming days, but Tennessee state lawmakers are threatening to deny future tax subsidies to the factory, if the vote is successful. The factory is currently the only Volkswagen plant worldwide that is not unionized.
The states's Republican lawmakers have been particularly vocal against the union vote. Tennessee state senator Bo Watson said during a press conference that VW would have a "very tough time" with future incentives if the vote were successful, according to Automotive News. Tennessee House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick said the "heavy hand" of the UAW is not welcome there. VW has drawn criticism from both sides because it has allowed both pro- and anti-union groups to speak to workers and hand out leaflets.
Roughly 1,500 factory employees will vote on whether to unionize from February 12-14. If successful, the Chattanooga factory would be the first in the US organized under a German-style works council system where white- and blue-collar workers directly negotiate factory issues with the company's management.
Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show
Wed, Nov 26 2014The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.

Dyno run hints VW GTI power might be significantly underrated
Wed, Feb 4 2015Are you one of the lucky owners of the 2015 Volkswagen GTI? If yes, you should be happy, because your 210- or 220-horsepower hot hatchback might actually have more like 260 ponies under its hood. That's according to a dyno test from a vendor on, of all places, a Ford Focus ST enthusiast forum. The company is estimating a 15-percent drivetrain loss with the GTI's best result a whopping 263 horsepower and 314 pound-feet of torque at the crank. That's a tremendous difference from the 210 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque that Volkswagen claims. Of course, this is merely one dyno session on one car. We'll have to wait until more 2015 GTI owners get on the rolling road to see if Volkswagen really was as conservative about its hot hatch's output as FocusST.org claims.
